The Daily Show: Trump Only Heightens GOP's Longstanding Latino Problem

Eliza Cossio: “Every Four Years, [Republicans] Pretend To Care About Us, And We're Like 'Oh My God, Really? Me? No!' And 'They're Like Yeah, You're Right, No.'” 

From the May 16 edition of Comedy Central's The Daily Show:

TREVOR NOAH (HOST): OK, well, Eliza, obviously Trump has not been very friendly to Mexicans, so how do you feel now that he's the presumptive Republican nominee?

ELIZA COSSIO: Well, speaking as a Latina, bad. Speaking as an American, very bad. It's weird to see the GOP slowly embracing Trump considering how desperately they need the Latino vote.

MATT LEWIS: Republicans a couple years ago did this autopsy where they said (...) we need to do better with Hispanics (...) Trump is the exact opposite of what Republicans were hoping for.

ELIZA COSSIO: It's like the Spice Girls said, "[[i]]If you wanna be my lover, you can't deport all my friends, and then make them pay for a wall"

COSSIO & NOAH: Friendship never ends!

NOAH: If Latinos don't like Trump, can't they just vote Democrat?

COSSIO: That's not the point, Trevor. Republicans and Latinos have a deal. Once every four years, they pretend to care about us, and we're like “Oh my god, really? Me? No!” And they're like “Yeah, you're right, no.” And then we vote Democrat. It's a time honored tradition.
